For those packages that use the<nobr> <wbr></nobr>.configure && make && make install routine there is a package called Source Installer <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/sourceinstall/sourceinstall.html" title="gnu.org">http://www.gnu.org/software/sourceinstall/sourcei<nobr>n<wbr></nobr> stall.html</a gnu.org> . It has worked great if all you want to do is install a package from source and be able to track the package files on the system. Where checkinstall has an edge is that it will create the package and then install, allowing you to distribute the package you created.
